    Hardly. He cut guys and created a cap disaster then overspent on several free agents. He did well with several like Williams, Beasley, Feliciano, and Brown but really overspent on the likes of Murphy, Morse, Butler, Kleine, Jefferson, and Addison. Basically he is your average GM that got a franchise QB in Allen. If the Browns or Jets had taken Allen he would have traded up for Rosen.

    Executive of the Year

    That stadium holds 71,078 people, if anything my projection is low. Have you seen how much drinking goes on in those lots? 

    You're making BADOBILZ point for him/her. There is no way that traffic to the game averages less than two attendees per vehicle. Have you ever attended a game - seen the traffic? Vehicles easily average 2+ per. I will guess (11 year season ticket holder, so observational knowledge) a three per car average with a significant number of buses. So, let's half your estimate and liberally say 20,000 vehicles. My guess is yes, you are really bad at math.

    I view Williams as a bridge to a more permanent solution.  If they can get him for 2 years around Spotrac's estimate, that it a very good solution for now.

    This isn't intended as an argument, I'm curious. Why do you see Williams as a bridge? He is 29, playing a position where quality players last into their mid-late 30s. Why can he not be our right tackle solution?

  4. I'll preface this with the admission that it is not my money. That said, we are building our team around Josh Allen, betting that he is our guy for the next ten to twelve years. That direction calls for the Bills to put a quality offensive line in front of him, allowing him to give us "The Josh Allen Experience" while minimizing the risk of injury. We found nugget of gold in Williams and I think we need to prioritize holding on to him. Cut and build with draft choices elsewhere, but build the best o-line we can.

    The fact that there is such debate surrounding his game is all anyone needs to know about how good he is.

     

    Don't recall any debate at all about how good or bad Biscuit or Talley were, for example.

     

     

    And where would that debate be had? Two Bills Drive? Twitter? Facebook? If Edmunds has played in '92, there would have been no debate about him, either.

    No question Beane dropped the ball when he passed on playmakers AJ Brown and DK Metcalf in round 2 of 2019.     They NEEDED that player for Josh Allen in 2019..........not another developmental offensive guard with right tackle flexibility in Cody Ford.    That error cost them two All Pro type talents.......Wyatt Teller's roster spot and one of those WR's.

     

    But comparing the processing ability and accuracy of 2019 Josh Allen to 2020 is way off base.    Allen improved greatly.   In 2019 he left hundreds of yards on the table to wide open receivers deep.   That wasn't a lack of receiving talent issue.   This year he was hitting a good % of those passes while greatly improving his accuracy and ball placement on short to intermediate throws.

     

    He would have been better in 2019 with a stud WR to go with his excellent targets in Beasley and Brown.........but he wasn't at a stage of his game where he was going to elevate the game of guys like Hill or Kelce by 30%+ like Mahomes did INSTANTLY as a first time starter in KC. 

     

    Allen is a work in progress..........Mahomes was ready to be the league's QB1 as soon as he was given the opporunity.    For reference go check his early season stats in 2018 where he was just putting up pinball machine numbers right out of the gate.

    I have to raise my hand with a point of order regarding the bolded. Mahomes received a master's degree in quarterbacking his first year, sitting and benefitting from the tutelage of Reid, his offensive staff and a Pro Bowl QB. I recognize your words are "as soon as he was even the opportunity", but even with that phrase, perspective is (purposely?) lost. As a rookie, Josh had the pleasure of throwing to Kelvin Benjamin and Zay Jones.

    - Josh Allen is hitting a home run starting with two strikes against him.

    - Patrick Mahomes is hitting a home run while having started on second base.

    While Mahomes won the battle this year (and I tip my cap), I believe the two QBs are very comparable.

    $185 million would still be a decrease of $13 million from 2020. It will still be a tough offseason for many teams, the Bills included.

    I think our concerns about losing players need to better recognize that all teams are facing the 2021 cap challenge. We may not see as much departure as we fear.

  8. I have a tendency - well - a 40 year habit, of really embracing and supporting anyone wearing a Bills uniform. Morse, Brown and Knox are guys I root hard for. However, continuous improvement means bold off season moves. That may include leaving Morse and Brown behind and investing in another young tight end, keeping Knox through the end of his rookie deal.

    Were you at said party?  Do you know what happened?  Are you honestly saying you know him THAT well?  You are saying you know what happened?  That was far from a juvenile party......if thats your version of a juvenile party I wanna party with you......just saying. 

     

    Agree 110% what Rapelisberger did is a HORRIBLE act and he shouldn't even be playing football right now and the comparison is weak but Haskins character mold is weak also.....again - WAY more than a juvenile party.......I wanna go to a 5+ stripper after party.....sign me up

    No, I’m not nearly that exciting. I saw and read nothing to indicate sexual assault or rape at that party. There is just a Grand Canyon of difference between the two.

    Well there was the afterparty in Haskins room with several "jerseys"....just saying.  Where there is smoke there is fire usually.....

    Sexual assault is a predatory act of violence. Please do not compare a juvenile party to sexual assault. Are you honestly implying you can’t see the stark difference?

    Haskins is a young, ***** version of Big Ben, character and all

    I’d like to flash a caution light here. Yes, Haskins has shown selfishness and poor judgement. Big Ben sexually assaulted a young lady. The two are not comparable. I’m not a fan of Haskins. However, to my knowledge, he has done nothing to deserve this comparison.
